‘KEEPS ME UP AT NIGHT’

Michelle Obama Shares Her Biggest ‘Fear’ During Trump’s First 100 Days

The former first lady said she fears less for herself and more for immigrants and people of color.

Former First Lady Michelle Obama opened up about how she feels about President Donald Trump’s first 100 days back in office, saying she fears most for immigrants and people of color rather than herself. Obama revealed on Monday’s episode of Jay Shetty’s On Purpose with Jay Shetty podcast that the plight of immigrants and people of color is what “frightens” her and “keeps [her] up at night,” adding that she isn’t sure if “we will have the advocates to protect everybody.” She said she also worries about the current “leadership that is, sort of, indiscriminately determining who belongs and who doesn’t, and we know that those decisions aren’t being made with courts and with due process.” The former first lady said that “it’s not the fear for myself anymore” that occupies her, but those who face “so much bias and so much racism and so much ignorance.”
